Rushmere Country Park

Cycling

We welcome cyclists at Rushmere Country Park and Aspley Woods.

Whilst the public has free access along public rights of way such as footpaths and bridleways, some of the areas managed by The Greensand Trust offer additional access for cyclists and horse riders with the purchase of a Greensand Pass.

If you wish to use our network of cycle trails, other than the Public Bridleway, you will need a Greensand Cycle Pass available here– once purchased you’ll get access to details of our cycling trails.

When riding please be aware and respectful of other park users and wildlife.

Here at Rushmere we’re big believers in the power of Natural Play and our woodland is perfect for this so we’ve developed a number of “play spots” around the site which you can discover as part of your visit. They are not part of a set trail but dotted around for you to find as you explore the site.
